I went to Pitt and earned a degree in economics and a minor in psychology. Later after being an investment banker for 13 years, I quit that line of work and went and earned my masters in Theology.

I went to Pitt twice, the first time I got a sociology degree, and then went back to night school and got degrees in journalism and communications before getting an MBA at Waynesburg.

Chapter 33? Isn't that the best benefit the military has to offer? Put my daughter through college on it.
Two B.S. degrees - Sociology and Psychology (go figure right?)... I can tell you that you all are f*cked up as a group.

i have a degree from a crappy school in oakland. i wish i'd have gone to asu where the girls are 1000X's hotter. Sadly, I didn't know about asu until i went to that garbage school in oakland. also went to grad school and paid out the nose for a completely pointless degree that i never use.

Pitt branch campuses are good schools, comparatively.
Princeton Review's academic rating score is only assigned to schools that have made its Best Schools rankings. That is why the score doesn't appear for every school below. Here are the public schools in Pennsylvania which landed academic rating scores.
Pitt-main 83
PSU-main 77
Temple 73
Pitt-Bradford 70
Slippery Rock 69
Pitt-Johnstown 68
California (PA) 67
Indiana (IUP) 67
Kutztown 66
No other public schools in PA were assigned an academic rating.
Here's Princeton Review's take on the "selectivity" of Pennsylvania's public schools. They assign a selectivity rating score to each school using a proprietary methodology based on various admission statistics (60 is the lowest, 99 is the highest). The list is sorted first by selectivity, second by academic rating score (in parentheses), and third alphabetically. The higher score is better in both instances. Notice not all of these schools received an academic ranking (only the above ones did) because they did not all get "Best School" status.
Pitt-main 92 (83)
PSU-main 92 (77)
West Chester 85
Temple 84 (73)
Slippery Rock 77 (69)
Bloomsburg 77
Lincoln 75
Millersville 75
Pitt-Greensburg 74
PSU-Harrisburg 74
California (PA) 73 (67)
PSU-Altoona 73
PSU-Erie 73
East Stroudsburg 72
Mansfield 72
Shippensburg 72
Pitt-Bradford 71 (70)
Pitt-Johnstown 71 (68)
Kutztown 71 (66)
Clarion 70
Edinboro 70
Lock Haven 70
PSU-Abington 70
PSU-Berks 70
PSU-Greater Allegheny 70
PSU Lehigh Valley 70
PSU Mont Alto 70
PSU New Kensington 70
PSU Wilkes-Barre 70
Indiana (IUP) 69 (67)
PSU-Fayette 69
PSU-Schuykill 69
Cheyney 68
PSU-Beaver 68
PSU-Branywine 68
PSU-Hazelton 68
PSU-Dubois 67

Don't mind at all...I am a Pastor in Simpsonville SC (suburb of Greenville). Prior to living here our family lived in San Luis Potosi Mexico. The church I pastor is called "The Bridge". Thanks for asking.

I didn't realize that Slippery Rock was so highly regarded - figured it was good if you wanted to be a gym teacher.
